Chapter 4826: Confrontation On the other side, Feng Jiu was escorting the little girl home. She had originally planned to leave after dropping her off, but the little girl cried and begged her to come in, leaving Feng Jiu with no choice but to follow her into the courtyard. Listening to the little girl chatter non-stop, Feng Jiu learned that this courtyard was quite a distance from the main compound. This was also where the Old Patriarch of the Shu family resided, making it a relatively quiet area. “Where is my Grandfather?” The little girl looked around but couldn’t find her grandfather, so she grabbed a maid and inquired. “Eleventh Miss, the Third Elder just came to ask the Old Patriarch to come to the front. He just left a moment ago,” the maid replied, lowering her head, not daring to look at the stunningly beautiful woman in red. “Then ask the kitchen to make us something delicious and send it to the pavilion.” She spoke like a little adult, dutifully playing the role of a little hostess entertaining guests. “Yes,” the maid replied and withdrew. Feng Jiu sat in the pavilion, resting her cheek on her hand. She felt that although this little girl was young, she was very capable, even if she sometimes used idioms incorrectly. However, at her age, that was to be expected. She possessed the innocence and kindness of a child, as well as the bearing of a woman from a distinguished family. The kitchen staff worked quickly, and in about half an incense stick’s time, the dishes were served one after another. The two of them, one big and one small, ate in the quiet courtyard, feeling very comfortable. “Beautiful auntie, I love this dish, it’s so delicious.” The little girl picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, eating with a satisfied look on her face, while recommending it to Feng Jiu. Feng Jiu didn’t hesitate and tasted a little of each dish. Although the dishes tasted quite good, her palate had long been spoiled by her former cook, so no matter how delicious they were, they couldn’t compare to the dishes her former cook had made. Therefore, after eating a few bites, she put down her chopsticks. However, just as Feng Jiu got up to walk around and digest her meal, she suddenly felt a fluctuation in the air. She raised her eyebrows slightly and released her divine sense to investigate. At this moment, the front gate of the Shu family was littered with corpses, blood was flowing, and the smell of blood filled the air. Moreover, as they fought, a powerful aura permeated the surroundings. The members of the Shu family were covered in wounds of various sizes. Standing at the forefront of the Shu family’s gate were the Patriarch of the Shu family and the Old Patriarch of the Shu family. At this moment, the Patriarch of the Shu family’s hand, holding the sword, was bleeding, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth that he hadn’t wiped away. The Old Patriarch of the Shu family was uninjured, but his face was a little pale, as if he was trying to endure something. In the next moment, a mouthful of blood spurted out. “Father!” “Old Patriarch!” “Grandfather!” Cries rang out, and Old Patriarch Shu raised his hand, signaling them not to worry. After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he looked at the people in front of him and asked in a calm voice, “What do you want before you’ll stop?” “Stop? Hahahaha!” One of the men, who appeared to be only in his forties or fifties, looked up and laughed loudly, stroking his beard with one hand, his eyes filled with cruelty. “I specially invited several Immortal Lords to come and help me. Do you think I would stop? The Shu family and the Ruan family have been enemies for over a hundred years. It’s just a pity that we never had the chance to settle the score. Now that we have the Four Great Emperors backing us, how could I let such a good opportunity slip away?”
